1. What does Piaget argue is the connection between language and cognition? Concepts
must be learned rst- language follows this.
2. According to Piaget, what stage is a child in between the ages of 0 and 2? Sensori -
motor (ego centric) - children explore the world using there senses. They can only explore
there immediate environment. [ Here and now ]
3. What is a child able to think and learn about during this stage of their development ?
Themselves
4. What does LASS stand for? - Language acquisition support system
5. What relationship did Bruner say LASS has with LAD? They both work hand in hand with
each other and they are born with them.
6. Three Features of child directed speech? Higher tone pitch, exaggerating words, slower
speech , high rising intonation, diminutives, simpli ed grammar, extra stress of certain
phonemes
7. Give an example of a virtuous error featuring overextension- all men are called dad
8. Give an example of a virtuous error featuring overgeneralisation- normally grammatical
not semantics such as grammar rules like using ‘ ed ‘ more then its needed ( chompksy ).
the holophrastic stage:
Age approx: 12 - 18 months
1. Lexis:
- concrete nouns: these are what is available to them eg. Dog, animals, food, people (proper
noun)
- Dynamic nouns: observable actions from the child or others around them. eg. Walk, run, jump,
sleep, eat
2. Paralinguistic features: child requesting adult to label things. eg. Arms, gesturing, pointing,
facial expressions, eye gaze
3. Phonology:
- fronted sounds stressed
- Plosives
- Vowels
4. Function/ pragmatics.
- instrumental (Halliday): ful lment of need
- Interactional- social
5. Discourse
First year:
Babbling:
- 8 months- 12 months
- Reduplication
- Cooing ( 4-8 months)
- Random vocalisation
- Vocal play ( 3-4 months)
- Vegetative sounds
- Crying sounds (0-3 months)
